We cannot know what people will like to look at in advance. Maybe they'll be lucky to see a screenshot with less colors to rest their eyes on it. In the web, The current `mainstream' tends to clean pages with lots of empty space and a light background I think (e.g. emacs defaults). But what does that say? Nothing. What I mean to say is, that it makes no sense to take into account what people (...cultural diversity...) might think about it as long as they won't take offence of our products. Same holds true for the 140 character sentences. It should be done the Org-mode way - and Org-mode is extremely flexible. Org-mode would accept something between 100 and 160 characters I believe :) Basically I would suggest to take an existing screenshot. We have one screenshot here and as long as there is no alternative, I'm more than fine with it. The new unicorn is great. Sebastian
